What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it?

For me it’s my Shindo Monbrison preamp.  I had discounted the importance of the preamp in my system before I got that one about 5 years ago, even though I had gone through some good ones.  
The Shindo just made everything sound better, full and rich and layered and textured and natural, with lots of detail, no matter what other components or music I throw at it (and I’ve changed a lot of components during the last 5 years). I doubt I’ll ever part with it, unless somehow I can afford to go further up the Shindo preamp chain, which would be quite expensive.  
And no, I’m not a believer that it has to be all Shindo or no Shindo.  It’s my only Shindo component (outside of some cabling), and I think at least at the preamp level it’s astoundingly good by itself, at least to my ears.  

The KLH Nine full-range electrostats I bought in 1991 from HiFi Classics in Far Rockaway, NY. $500 - and a major bargain! Still have them in occasional use along with the pair of Futterman H3aa OTL amps. 

My favorite is my pair of Watkins Stereo WE-1s speakers, they are large but have such a sweet musical sound, even at 37 years old. 

The ‘68 Les Paul Custom I lost in a burglary during college....still hurts.

After that, I’d have to say the Thiel 3.6’s.  I down-sized years ago, but I had a lot of joy thanks to Thiel.

Krell ksa100. All original. Getting it recapped this week after 30yrs. Can’t wait. 

Pioneer pl-630tt with ortofon black mm cart. Still works and sounds great. 
Things sure were made well back then.
